Being raised in the mountains of East Tennessee, I didn’t have access to a great choice of classes in high school. Many small county school systems were and still are financially challenged, so these writing classes simply were not a part of the school curriculum. Schools inside the cities have a greater financial advantage over smaller county schools that don’t have access to additional tax funding that provides a greater school curriculum.
When I attended my first conference, I had no idea about POV (Point of View) or even what it was. I didn’t have a clue about plotting, description, or voice. I knew basic English. I’d never had a deeper exposure to the writing world because our schools just didn’t offer those types of classes.
